All online clients disconnected same time same date

Asked by Nick Achten

Hi There,

Today we found out that all our clients devices (+/- 10) which use the mosquitto client library (v 1.2.2) crashed on the same time and the same date. The machines have nothing in common except that they are configured bridged to the same server.

The server where all clients are bridged to is on Windows Azure. I know this is probably a long shot but i'm trying it here anyway.

The error occurred 20:54 12th May (Europa/Amsterdam).

Kind regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,

Are you sure that the problem didn't occur on the broker machine? I
can't think of anything in the client that would cause them all to
crash at the same time point.

Thanks,

Roger

Hi Roger,

Thanks for your reply, i'm not 100% sure this was not caused by the broker himself ... But the strange thing is that all brokers where crashed the same time same date and also on the same location (internally).

We also have the same configured embedded device running @ clients (outside our network) and i couldn't find any prove they had this problem.

Therefore my question is as follow: Could a network crash / interrupt cause the mosquitto broker to crash ?

Kind Regards,

Nick
